Moose & Indians

I found another article by Dr. Charles Kay about aboriginal overkill. This article is about moose. Since 1900 the moose populations in Western North America have rapidly increased. Dr. Kay hypothesizes that a primary reason for this change is the fact that Native Americans were not conservative in their hunting of these large animals and killed too many keeping populations low. Now without aboriginal hunting the moose have repopulated.
